slow minimal ambient drones | music to lose yourself in

Minimal but atmospheric ambient drones focussing on just one note and its normally hidden harmonics.

The music on this album is played on guitar with an ebow through a selection of effects.

The two different versions use the same source material - 4 seperate recordings playing the same note.

The parallel version plays these recordings simultaneously. Each recording is looped but is a different length, so the music interacts in subtly different ways and never completely repeats itself throughout the piece.

The linear version plays each recording one after another with the music playing into the long, slowly decaying loop I use for most other Ghost Harmonics recordings.

The differences between the two are subtle but, I hope, satisfying. This is an approach I will try again for future albums.

Ghost Harmonics delivers two of his most minimal ambient sets to date. The slow, deep undulating sounds in both the "Parallel" and "Linear" versions provide the perfect ambience for evening relaxation or contemplation.
